People’s hormones are a far cry from what they were 25 years ago. What are some of the factors causing this? How can we apply hormone therapy to help men and women gain confidence, and manage their weight and energy? What are the best peptides for men and women? On this episode, I talk to one of the biggest pioneers in the hormone optimization space, Dr. Uzzi Reiss. Estrogen is the beginning of the symphony. -Dr. Uzzi Reiss   Three Takeaways A lot of people on treatment don’t feel good because they aren’t getting enough hormones in the first place. Estrogen suppresses the breast cancer stem cell, while chemo and radiation increase breast cancer stem cell occurrence. To lose weight, your body needs energy. In menopause, women have less which makes it more likely that they’ll gain weight. Tesamorelin is very effective at breaking intra-abdominal fat   At the start of the show, we talked about how estrogen suppresses the breast cancer stem cell, and why menopausal women tend to gain weight. Next, we talked about how to control weight gain, and how to help men maintain a healthy level of testosterone. We also discussed: The use of peptides How society’s hormone levels have changed over the last 25 years Why all the hormones in our bodies are important   Most physicians know nothing about hormones outside of what pharmaceutical reps tell them. This leads to people not being treated sufficiently, creating more problems. We’re in a state where both men’s and women’s hormones have dramatically changed in the last 25 years and this is where intervention comes in. When people correctly manage their hormones, it can have profound effects mentally and physically. It can also alleviate feelings of regression, which can also boost self-esteem. All these things make for a happier and healthier society. Guest Bio- Dr. Uzzi Reiss is an American private practice gynecologist offering anti-aging medicine services.
